wow! today i've spent an hour at my psychiatrist talking about this issue (and i mean the exact same thing). I'm thinking about purchasing this as a greeting card but actually i wish i could tattoo this right into the palm of my hand.

You oversimplify things, again. There is such a thing as being obsessive about a "problem" you can't solve and there is working on a problem that may take you a very long time to solve. Einstein worked on his theory of relativity and his "special" theory of relativity for years. Then, of course, there is being obsessive about everything. Everyone has different limits at which we need to take breaks/vacations or give up altogether before breaking down. The trick is to know yours.

When you have a problem, and you couldn't solve it the first three to five minuets, take a breather and get back to it later. when you get back to it, you would laugh on how easy the solution really was...

When I think too much about a problem my brain definitely goes into overdrive and I end up making the most stupid decisions. There again, when I don't think about a problem much I end up making the most stupid decisions too... Guess I just can't win... Love your blog. Not only am I now a follower, I posted this cartoon to facebook too..

The same, in a different way:“Thinking from what you know is often not the most effective way to solve a particular problem.”(communicating, experimenting, and other directions might be much more preferrable too!)

At some point in 2010 I was going through a crisis due to some isues at work. I decided to start this blog as a way of trying to find what I was doing wrong. I wanted to put on paper all that I had learned in life as simple as possible and try to see if what was happening around me made any sense. It didn't.
